Key Audit Matters ____________________________________________________

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in the audit of the annual accounts of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the annual accounts as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Recoverability of property, plant and equipment See note 6 to the annual accounts

Key audit matter

How the matter was addressed in our audit

The Company has made considerable investments which are mainly related to increasing the production capacity of the Company and consequently, property, plant and equipment totalled Euros 96,047,491 at 31 December 2021, the recoverability of which depends on the Company's capacity to generate future cash flows and to fulfil its business plan.

The Company evaluates whether there are indications of possible impairment losses on the aforementioned assets. As the aforementioned estimates require value judgements, and because of the inherent uncertainty associated with them and the significance of the carrying amount of these assets, this has been considered a key audit matter.

Our audit procedures on the recoverability of property, plant and equipment included the following:

  • - A detailed analysis of the process, design and implementation of the key controls established by the Company for assessing the recoverability of property, plant and equipment.

  • - Assessment of the documentation supporting the indications of impairment analysis performed by the Company.

  • - Cross-checking of the performance of the Company in 2021 with the budget for the same period.

We also assessed whether the disclosures in the annual accounts meet the requirements of the applicable financial reporting framework.

Recoverability of non-current investments in Group companies and associates

See notes 8 and 19 to the annual accounts

Key audit matter

How the matter was addressed in our audit

The Company has made investments in Group companies amounting to Euros 22,144,656 that are recognised under non-current investments in Group companies and associates, the recoverability of which depends on the Company's capacity to generate future cash flows and to fulfil its business plan, and that of other companies in which it holds interests.

At the end of each reporting period, the Company assesses the aforementioned investments in Group companies and associates and, where appropriate, their recoverable amount for the existence of indications of impairment. Due to the inherent uncertainty associated with these estimates and the significance of the carrying amount of these assets, this has been considered a key audit matter.

Our audit procedures on the recoverability of non-current investments in Group companies and associates included the following:

  • - An analysis of the process, design and implementation of the key controls established by the Company for assessing the recoverability of investments in Group companies.

  • - Assessment of the documentation supporting the indications of impairment analysis performed by the Company.

  • - Cross-checking of the performance of the Company and other companies in which the Company has investments in 2021 with the budget for the same period.

We also assessed whether the disclosures in the annual accounts meet the requirements of the applicable financial reporting framework.

Our audit opinion on the annual accounts does not encompass the directors' report. Our responsibility for the directors' report, in accordance with the requirements of prevailing legislation regulating the audit of accounts, consists of assessing and reporting on the consistency of the directors' report with the annual accounts, based on knowledge of the entity obtained during the audit of the aforementioned annual accounts, and assessing and reporting on whether the content and presentation of the directors' report are in accordance with applicable legislation.
